A Symmetrical Christmas Tree

Posted by terrepruitt on December 28, 2022

I used to spend a lot of time at the Christmas tree lot looking for a perfectly symmetrical tree.  But then I realized that where we put our tree actually allows for a tree that is flat on one side, so now the tree we end up getting is usually not even.  This is another cork tree I made, but this one . . . as you can see is a symmetrical.  Cork, you may not know, is not easy to work with.  All corks are not the same size and some of them have bulges and don’t get me started on trying to poke a hole through one.  This three is a monogram tree.  I left it somewhat plain so that the letter could show through.  Having fun with corks.

If you had a lot of corks is there something you could think to make with them?  Care to share?

Trees Are Not Symmetrical

Posted by terrepruitt on December 27, 2022

YEARS ago I bought a project to do that required wine corks and I asked everyone to save the corks for me. Well, saving them has become a habit and I have saved and received a lot of wine corks. I wanted to do something with them and so I created a couple of things this year with the wine corks. Here is one wine cork Christmas tree. I wanted it to be asymmetrical, I wanted it to be able to lay flat for easier storage.  I also wanted the tree to be removable from the base. The idea is to turn each row of branches to help it look more like a tree. I mean, really, trees are not symmetrical so why do I think the ones I make have to be? I tried to let this one just BE. I like it, but I realize that I often inflict my “crafty” ideas on my friends. I know I am fortunate they love me.

I even like the way it looks from the top.

Oh, and by the way . . . I have not yet done the original project that I started saving wine corks for. I really should get to that!
